About the provider

We are based in Israel and while we enjoy our wonderful beaches, we realized that we are missing out on all the Mediterranean has to offer. It touches our shores but is underused and underrated!

After qualifying as a skipper and sailing the seas around Israel, I cast my net wider and started chartering catamarans in the Mediterranean. This is a fantastic way of traveling within the framework of keeping kosher because the catamaran has its own kitchen yet can be taken to the most beautiful parts of the Med.

As the word started to spread and friends and family wanted to join us on our adventures, we decided to offer kosher sailing in the Med to a wider audience. We are a family business in Israel working with partners around the Mediterranean and now the Caribbean to bring an amazing and unforgettable sailing experience to the kosher world!

We hope you'll come and join us!

Rooms & accommodation

Kashrut & dining

The galley on a catamaran is fully equipped and open for all to see in the central area of the salon. We have our own dishes, pans and cutlery which we use and completely clean and kasher the kitchen before starting our season.

Our professional chef will create 3 incredible meals every day. Together with the chef, our hostess will make sure that the boat is kept ship shape and that you are looked after with cocktails, drinks and a professionally run week! 

PROVISIONS

• Milk: Most cheeses are brought with us from Israel or sent from Italy or the USA. We are particularly fond of the Jacob's Dairy in Kfar Ha'Roe and Yotvata in Rome! If available, we will buy local kosher cheese locally. We use local milk, butter, cream and plain yoghurts.
• Fish: We purchase fish fresh from fishermen, fish markets or supermarkets or you are welcome to try and catch your own dinner.
• Bread: We either bake our own bread or we buy plain white bread such as baguettes if generally accepted and deemed to be kosher by Chabad and/or the local dati community.
• Dry Goods, Condiments etc: Rice, pasta, lentils, soy sauce, olive oil, canola oil, sugar, tea, coffee, etc is all bought locally according to accepted guidelines.
• Meat: Where we can offer it, we usually include a burger night and the beef is bought locally or from Israel with a good hechsher.
• Alcohol: We offer kosher wines from Israel or Europe, local beer and we try and arrange enough spirits and juices to make some pretty impressive cocktails!

Religious life & Shabbat

The boat is kosher and Shomer Shabbat and we require guests to respect this. With only 4 - 6 cabins we can't offer a minyan I'm afraid but we do promise a great shabbat atmosphere!
